Tomorrow''label first General Audience in the Vatican.''
title as' L'Osservatore Romano, 25 November 2008, which emphasizes that''the meeting the Pope and the faithful in the program in the Paul VI will coincide 'with the entry into operation of the PV system made in recent months in the vaults of the building'' (see photo) .
The energy consumption of the House and the buildings surrounding it are covered, but only partially, by the energy produced by photovoltaic modules installed in 2400 replacing the old concrete panels, in full respect of volume and the aesthetic of the project originally from Pier Luigi Nervi. The system will guarantee
'300 megawatt hour (MWh) of clean electricity annually, which will be placed in the network and enable the Vatican to avoid emissions of 225,000 kilograms of carbon dioxide, saving about 80 tonnes of oil equivalent.
''With this initiative - said the Osservatore Romano - start for the Vatican's plan to convert to renewable sources, which should cover 20 percent of overall energy needs by 2020.''
